Brandon Jennings’s Summary
I'm currently enjoying a career in television production while slowly developing my passion of photography into a viable second career. It's been a real journey over the last several years, with life taking me in many different directions,notably New York City, where I was fortunate enough to sharpen my skills as a broadcast editor and learn from countless numbers of talented and gifted people. I hope to start my own production company in the near future, where I can finally be able to harness the pool of talented people I've come to know and hopefully bring my own experience to the table as well.
Thanks to everyone for your support and friendship!
